Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The reservoir's 240 surface acres are stocked and popular with anglers chasing largemouth bass, rainbow trout, kokanee, crappie and catfish, and paved boat ramps at Haystack (and at the nearby West Shore Campground) make launching a pleasure. Swimming is permitted, and the open water also draws seasonally rich birdlife loons and several species of grebe are common, and rarer visitors such as trumpeter swan, surf scoter, and osprey have been reported.











Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (4,217 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
